The only time Hunters were legitimately OP was in BC when we could top damage meters as BM, with one button (macro) no less. What's the matter? You got nothin better to do that troll? You can get your opinion across without calling the class "gay/op", but I noticed you have 2 posts as well as your name, so you must be a troll.

Hunters will be really good in cataclysm, hard hitting opener with Aimed Shot, Chimera Shot buffed will make sure the damage stays high

like where hunters are going!

First 10% (MD Aim shots for big threat for tank(s)) and last 25% (beat enrages or that last tough phase) in PvE should be descent. I see being selective of shots per HP% of target, and of course the situation (moving or not) to be of more importance than today.

The ability to reliably crit with a hard hitting shot, and be ready to do it again, does seem OP, except that it's only applicable on single, relatively low HP, mobs when leveling/farming. There are other classes that can AoE and increase their effective kill rate by a lot more. So, I'm not going to flip over someone doing better or worse on 'trash'. When it comes to raid boss encounters, and PvP, then I care. This situation isn't applicable to either.

A lot of people are leveling with MM, and that's fine, but honestly, it's slower than BM for solo play.

Agreed, about time we get some changes made. Not just for the better but any changes at all. The most recent one I can remember is MD getting changed to act like ToTT. Now they just need to give it the damage buff (like Tricks) and take it off the GCD. :P

I've played a rogue quite a bit and found the gap between hunters and rogues, as far as the focus system goes, to be pretty big still. Lets hope Blizzard gets the feedback they need to understand what needs to have focus, what doesn't, and at what cost.

To add to your example, I'd like to get tier bonuses like the rogues in Cata.

Unless my focus regeneration (through haste, shots, etc. etc.) gets up to about 50/60+ a second it won't be the same as today. The ability to react to a situation and have various abilities at your fingertips, ready to aid the team, has always been an important factor in my enjoyment of playing a hunter. Waiting to do concussion, deterrence, disengage, etc. etc. is not an option. Rogues don't have to : )

But, now I'm on a rant/tangent than the OT.

Numbers are not tweaked at this beta stage so I wouldn't focus on them too much and claim that AS is op or not. Even if, when cata releases, AS does hit hard, it will be more or less like Lava Burst from ele shamans. And shammies get to spam Lava Burst 3 times more than hunters can spam AS considering that hunters will have to do 5 continuous steady shots to get their free AS because all of their focus is saved to cast chimera shot and keep up vernom and whatnot.

MD having no global CD is an excellent idea. With the introduction of vernom, hunters spend even more gcds without doing any dps. Hunter's mark is not too bad because it's 5 mins long so for long fights such as Sindragosa, LK, or professor, you only need to use 1 gcd to refresh it but for fight with adds (which seems to be the direction Bliz is taking), it's really a pain.

One thing that had me wondering early on was with improved hunter's mark. If another hunter overrides mine, now I'll have to spend even more focus. And yeah, the hunters know I have the improved mark, and they still do it. It's a muscle memory thing of always putting it up on their target.

Aimed Shot is back to a cast?

Haven't really kept up with it much lately so I'm not sure if it was noted somewhere it's back to a cast. That sucks if it is.

GG blizz

It's great when people justify the "OPness" of a class when they are the one that are playing it.

**Buffwhite** · 2010-08-11, 02:49 PM

What is the name of the music in this video? I want it. Reminds me of the music in the club in Conker's Bad Fur Day lol.

Mob health values have been changed on the Beta. They cannot be oneshot anymore.

The hunter class deserves this. It isnt like a feral druid,Pally,DK... doesnt do something similar.

Chew target till it dies, heal, chew on another target...

Bash with hammer, next target

Smash smash next target.
